Criminal investigations and incidents have been reported across Sweden and Norway involving various sectors. In Enköping, Sweden, authorities are investigating the theft and manipulation of narcotics across eleven health and care units. 

In Norway, investigations into sixteen companies in the South-East police district have raised concerns that criminal networks may be using private welfare service providers to divert public funds. Consequently, the Norwegian government is reviewing criminal record check requirements and inter-agency information sharing. 

Other reported incidents include an attempted murder charge following a shooting in Malmö, Sweden, and prison sentences handed to two women in Stockholm for violent assaults against a bus driver and a homeless man.
